slashsound1.2 is a snapshot in time of sounds from the living rooms and local hard drives from the beginning of the COVID-19 era. All proceeds from slashsound1.2 will go—via Equal Sound's Corona Relief Fund—to assist artists who now find themselves in a financial strain as a result of total cultural closures.
As everyone holds down in their shelters for an uncertain future, recorded music takes on a renewed role as a source of comfort and familiarity, and an opportunity to escape into imaginary landscapes outside our corporeal home. So we tapped our community from around the city and beyond to contribute an offering in the form of this compilation; freshly mastered tracks, live recordings, sample libraries and bedroom improvisations, for everyone who imagines a change of scenery.
